Hello I am using your Mega Menu feature on one of our homepages. (URL: https://www.stradeco.com)
We’re using a http Basic Auth to protect our wp-admin folder for login etc.
Every Time I try to search something the Basic Auth window from my browser pops up and wants the username and password to authorize.
The same happens then I hover through specific categories in the mega menu.
Can you please help?
I’ve tried to check my chrome browser while hovering the Mega Menu.
Then the error appears. Chrome says that it was unable to load that file (401):
https://www.stradeco.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?td_theme_name=Newspaper&v=8.7.4
and exactly this file is in the protected Basic Auth. wp-admin folder.
Alright I think I’ve fixed it. I excluded the admin-ajax.php from the Basic Auth. and the Mega Menu & Search option were working fine.
But is it normal that your theme is requiring files from the wp-admin folder ?
I also run two websites on other themes, and they needn’t access to the wp-admin folder.
Hi,
There are various elements in the theme that use admin-ajax. If this is blocked by a security implementation or firewall there will be problems with the theme and plugins. When ajax is called and used the request goes through the admin-ajax.php file in the wp-admin folder. It should be accessible to the theme and there will be no problems.
